Kemper Corporation reported a weak first quarter of 2026, swinging to a small net loss as its personal auto business deteriorated. Net loss was $1.7 million, or $(0.03) per share, compared with net income of $99.7 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, a year earlier.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income fell to $12.5 million, or $0.21 per share, from $106.4 million, or $1.65 per diluted share. Total revenues declined to $1,107.2 million from $1,193.0 million, mainly due to lower Specialty Personal Automobile volumes, a $28.0 million Florida statutory profit limit refund, and runoff in Non-Core Operations.
The Specialty Property & Casualty segment’s adjusted net operating income dropped to $0.1 million from $97.9 million, driven by an increase in Specialty Personal Automobile underlying loss and LAE ratio to 87.7% from 70.1%, and a combined ratio of 110.9%. By contrast, Specialty Commercial Automobile earned premiums rose to $238.2 million, with an underlying combined ratio of 92.4%. The Life segment generated adjusted net operating income of $18.0 million, up from $17.2 million.
Shareholders’ equity was $2,649.6 million as of March 31, 2026, with book value per share of $45.05 and adjusted book value per share of $27.79. Kemper highlighted restructuring initiatives, citing $60 million of run-rate savings identified and $50 million already actioned, and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share.
Kemper Corporation reduced the size of its revolving credit facility, signaling confidence in its current liquidity and a focus on lowering costs. On April 28, 2026, the company notified JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the administrative agent under its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, that it would cut total borrowing capacity from $600 million to $350 million, effective May 4, 2026.
Kemper states that, even after this reduction, its available sources of liquidity remain sufficient for its present corporate purposes. The smaller facility will lower the annual fees the company pays under the credit agreement and aligns with its ongoing initiative to reduce corporate expenses.

Kemper Corporation is asking shareholders to elect nine directors, approve an advisory Say-on-Pay vote for named executive officers, and ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor at the 2026 annual meeting on May 6.

All nine nominees are independent under NYSE and SEC rules, and the board is led by independent chairman Gerald Laderman, with all key committees chaired by independent directors.
The proxy details a 2025 CEO transition: long-time CEO Joseph P. Lacher Jr. departed in October 2025 and C. Thomas Evans Jr., previously General Counsel, became Interim CEO with an $800,000 base salary and a $1 million retention RSU grant. Kemper’s 2025 results reflected a difficult environment, with net income attributable to Kemper of $143.3 million versus $317.8 million in 2024 and adjusted consolidated net operating income of $225.5 million versus $381.5 million. Management emphasized actions in pricing, claims, expenses and geographic diversification, while maintaining holding company liquidity above $1.0 billion, trailing 12‑month operating cash flow of about $585 million, and book value per share rising to $45.71.
Executive pay remains heavily performance-based, combining salary, a short‑term cash incentive tied to adjusted operating income, distributable cash flow and individual goals, plus long‑term equity awards. For 2025, strong distributable cash flow contrasted with below‑target profitability, and STI bonuses for continuing NEOs were paid at substantially below‑target levels, generally around 77–83% of target, to reflect financial underperformance while recognizing leadership efforts during the transition.
